National Crime Victimization Survey: Stalking Victimization Supplement, 2006
The Supplemental Victimization Survey (SVS) was designed to measure
the prevalence, characteristics, and consequences of nonfatal stalking
so that policymakers, academic researchers, practitioners at the
federal, state and local levels, and advocates could make informed
decisions concerning policies and programs. The SVS asks questions
related to victims' experiences of unwanted contact or harassing
behavior on two or more occasions during the previous 12 months. The
survey provides information about the following dimensions of stalking
behavior: relationship of the perpetrator to victim; onset, duration,
and desistance; other crimes and injuries committed against the victim
in conjunction with stalking; victim response; criminal justice
response; and cost to victim. These responses are linked to the National
Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)
survey instrument responses for a more complete understanding of the
stalking victim's circumstances.
The 2006 SVS was a one-time
supplement to the annual NCVS to obtain specific information about
stalking victimization on a national level. This supplement was
sponsored by the Office of Violence Against Women (OVW) in the
United States Department of Justice. Since the SVS is a supplement to the
NCVS, it is conducted under the authority of Title 42, United States
Code, Section 3732. Only Census employees sworn to preserve
confidentiality may see the completed questionnaires.
